Wilcox (pictured) won his second straight game after a four-game losing streak, shutting out Omaha 3-0 at home. This was his first shutout with Tri-City. He had two with Green Bay before being traded. Wilcox is playing like Tri-City expected when they acquired the Lightningâ€™s 2011 sixth round pick and future Minnesota Golden Gopher.

Milan broke a personal 14 game scoreless streak with a secondary assist Saturday night. scoreless streak hit 14 games in the loss. St. John is two points behind Patrick Royâ€™s Quebec Remparts for the leagueâ€™s top point total. At 18-19-3-0 Moncton pulled back within one game of .500.

Wilcox played for the first time since December 9 and broke a four-game losing streak by beating Sioux City, 4-3. Wilcox had lost the No.1 job to Phoenix Copley, but Copley was shelled Wednesday night giving Wilcox an opening Friday.

After Namestnikov was a surprise cut by Team Russia at the World Junior tournament, rumors started swirling he was injured when trying to make the team though nothing had been announced. Friday was the second straight game for London that Namestnikov has missed due to a â€œlower body injury,â€ giving those rumors some credibility. Speaking of credibility, itâ€™s a lot easier to handle Namestnikov â€“ a first round pick of the Lightning in 2011 â€“ not making the team due to an injury than not being good enough. On Friday, Lightning camper Seth Griffith had a hat trick for the Knights. He also added an assist. Griffith (pictured) now has 29 goals and 50 points in 35 games.

Schemitsch couldnâ€™t string together two straight games with an assist and Owen Sound couldnâ€™t beat the Rangers at the Aud in Kitchener on Friday, losing 4-1. Schemitsch had an assist Wednesday in a 2-1 loss to Niagara.

Former Lightning camper Seth Griffith scored an empty net goal for his 26th goal of the season as London topped division rival Guelph, 3-1. The undrafted Griffith has 46 points in 33 games to go with a plus-17 rating. He has a 12 game point streak going and has had at least a point in 24 of his last 26 games. He was passed over in last yearâ€™s draft and camped with the Lightning before being sent back to the OHL without a contract. He sits in sixth in the OHL in points and is second in goals.

Likely 2012 top-3 pick Nail Yakupov had a goal and an assist in Sarniaâ€™s win over Geoffrey Schemitsch and Owen Sound. The Russian has 51 points in 25 games. Yakupov, Lightning prospect Nikita Kucherov, and Quebec Rempart Mikhail Grigorenko are expected to be the offensive leaders for Russia in the upcoming U20 World Junior Championships.

Namestnikov earned an assist on Lightning camper Seth Griffithâ€™s 24th goal of the season that tied the game at 1. Tie Domiâ€™s son Max won the game for the Knights in overtime â€“ his 12th goal of the year. With 44 points in 31 games Griffith (pictured) is seventh in the league in scoring. He had 62 points (22 goals) in 68 games last year before joining the Lightning for prospect and rookie camp as a free agent invitee. It is still possible he could be signed by the Lightning after the new year. Someone is going to get him.

Milanâ€™s scoreless streak hit nine games in a loss to Baie-Comeau. Moncton was playing its first game without captain and Coyotesâ€™ first round pick Brandon Gormely, who is in Calgary for Team Canadaâ€™s World Junior Championships camp.

Milan has not registered a point in eight games. He is minus-5 during that time. Milan is fourth in points for the year among Wildcat defensemen. While Lightning management said they signed Milan for his defensive abilities and offense is a bonus, one suspects they weren't expecting him to slump this bad after a 38-point rookie season.

Schemitsch (pictured) hasnâ€™t played since November 12 because of an upper body injury. He is still being listed as day-to-day. Mark Scheifele, who started the season with the Winnipeg Jets, had two goals in the game for Barrie. He has 11 goals and 32 points in 18 games this season for the Colts.

Moncton got a goal and assist from both of the Saulnier twins to top visiting Gatineau, 4-3. Lightning prospect Adam Janosik missed the game, but played last game and there have been no reports of an injury.

Lightning prospect Daniel Milan extended his scoreless streak to five games in the loss. Phillips was thought to be a potential draft candidate for the Lightning last summer. The Wild took him with the pick immediately after the Bolts took Vladislav Namestnikov. Phillips leads St. John in scoring with 16 goals and 48 points in 27 games.

Moncton was able to overcome Milanâ€™s holding penalty in overtime to force a shootout and gain an extra point from the Mooseheads. Milanâ€™s dismal season continues statistically with four assists in 22 games. He had 14 goals and 24 assists as a QMJHL rookie last year.

The high-powered Knights only managed 15 shots on goal, but goaltender Michael Houser (undrafted) stopped 34 shots to lead London to a 2-1 road win.

He has 17 goals this year.
